A brief overview of the
official story of the Oklahoma City bombing:
| On April 17,
1995 Timothy McVeigh reportedly picked up a
20-foot Ryder truck from Elliott's Body Shop
in Junction City. The truck was filled with
roughly 5,000 pounds (2,300 kg) of ammonium
nitrate, an agricultural fertilizer, and
nitromethane, a highly volatile motor-racing
fuel-a mixture also known as Kinepak or ANFO
(ammonium nitrate/fuel oil).
At 9:02 a.m. on
April 19, 1995, the truck exploded in the
street in front of the Alfred P. Murrah
federal building. About 90 minutes later,
McVeigh was stopped by an Oklahoma state
trooper for driving a vehicle without a
license plate, who then arrested him on a
firearms charge. Two days later he was
charged in the bombing. His friend Terry
Nichols was arrested in Kansas, and formally
charged with the bombing on May 10. |

Here's a couple excerpts...
"...here's now
what we are starting to learn about the
succession, or what someone obviously hoped
would be a succession of explosions. The
first bomb that was in the federal building
did go off ... the second explosive was
found and defused. The third explosive that
was found and they are working on it right
now ... both the second and third
explosives, if you can imagine this, were
larger than the first. ... It is just
incredible to think that there was that much
heavy artillery that was somehow moved into
the downtown Oklahoma City federal
building."
"...this is the
work of a sophisticated group, this is a
very sophisticated device, and it has to
have been done by an explosives expert." |

The Murrah building was not destroyed
by a single truck bomb -
the Eglin blast effects
study and
General Partin's Report prove this is the case. |
